Zello Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I currently have two fighters that are around 240 pounds and are going to be facing heavyweights that might weigh more than them. Will I have a chance or will they have to gain some pounds? Can a fighter be successful in a weight class even if they are a bit lighter?

JakeF Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 They are better when they are lighter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsquirrel Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 While I believe you if you say so it doesn't make sense for realism. Also doesn't match up with what I read in the wiki. There should at least be some advantages like more strength/power for higher weight as it says there, or is that just plain wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are advantages with both but lighter fighters have more advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeF Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 You get some power advantage and slight clinch bonus, I believe, but in this game energy is much more important than power. If you gain energy advantage during fight(even 5-10%) = easier KO, higher striking efficiency and so on and so on. It doesn't make sense if you are comparing it to the weight cutting that UFC fighters do, but this is how game engine works and you should adapt to it. Especially at heavyweight, being lighter is a serious advantage because energy there matters the most. Anyway, I have a bunch of heavier fighters for their divisions, just for the sake of having some fun and diversity, but that forces me to adjust to their higher weight in every fight - either looking to clinch more or going less aggro to save energy or setting higher damage to use the higher power and get a KO. Every weight could be successful but it needs to be combined with the proper hiddens and more important - with good sliders. But generally, being lighter makes it easier to fight. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there also a speed advantage for the lighter fighter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsieur.Camara Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 yes there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwynd Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 yes there is. Thought so. Thanks. I've also heard that the speed advantage is greater than the Strength one gained from being the larger fighter. Which really helps if you are trying for takedowns. Possibly for counter attempts as well. (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Being lighter gives a speed advantage, while being the heavier guys gives you a little power advantage. As long as weight is not too far off the normal standard, hiddens and sliders reign supreme. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as weight is not too far off the normal standard, hiddens and sliders reign supreme. I always thought it was Speed advantage. I think was either dino or fuse that convinced me it was energy advantage that made it seem like speed. Lighter guys do have a speed advantage to a degree but I think the energy advantage is responsible for what appears like obvious speed advantage... If that makes sense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHL Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Should matter much more IMO. Having somebody 155 vs somebody 255 in an openweight fight should be a signifgant disadvantage for the 155 guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having somebody 155 vs somebody 255 in an openweight fight should be a signifgant disadvantage for the 155 guy In this game, if the smaller fighter survives the first 1-2 mins, he already has energy advantage and in most cases should destroy the bigger guy.

Mannetosen Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Power/strength are hard capped I believe, so at elite levels having a weight advantage has little to no significance. The real reason lighter is better is that you lose your energy more slowly. EDIT: skipped reading the responses. See Chris said the exact same thing. D'oh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeF Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 nah, i mean he said that everything enters in calculation when the power of a strike is calculated. Strength, weight, ko power, primaries, secondaries, physicals, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
